The ventral cavity is subdivided into 2 other cavities, the thoracic cavity and abdominopelvic cavity which are separated by the diaphragm. Some of the organs within each are:

THORACIC

  • 2 pleural cavities > lungs
  • mediastinum > pericardial cavity, major blood and lymph vessels
  • pericardial cavity > heart

ABDOMINOPELVIC

  • abdominal cavity > stomach, liver, spleen, gallbladder, pancreas, small intestine
  • pelvic cavity > urinary bladder, colon, rectum, reproductive organs
